This was my first time to the restaurant and it will be the last. Overall the service was terrible and the food was not worth the money. Very disappointed as I had heard good things. More

Wonderful restaurant in a former bank, ideally located in central Edinburgh. We shared a starter - bruschetta - which was excellent. Would have been wonderful with Italian tomatoes, but never mind. Both our pasta main dishes were superb. They have a terrific winelist. A wonderful white Gavi was great with the pasta vongole (clams). They have an amazing selection of... More

Had an early Saturday lunch here, so early we were the first people in. Food was lovely, nice and simple, packed with flavour, very enjoyable. We were only in the restaurant for 50 minutes, and by the time we left it was packed, shows how popular and well respected it is. The Safe / Wine cellar downtairs are quite cool... More

We chose to eat here because we liked the look of the place from the outside and the overall experience did not disappoint at all. So pleased they managed to get us a table on a very busy saturday evening, would book ahead next time. Great food, great atmosphere. Nothing to dislike at all More

What a lovely place. I was in last night with my girlfriend and had the early evening menu. My steak was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. My girlfriends pizza was just as delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant and returning as soon as possible. More

I prefer waiting staff to ask me, " would you like a drink?" rather than, "drink?" It felt clinical and industrial with no personality shining through in either atmosphere or staff! We waited almost an hour for our food and we were not offered a replacement or discount when my son found a suspicious hair like object in his Calzone!!... More

Amarone was recommended by friends so there was an expectation of high quality which unfortunately was not achieved. We were seated at a table in the middle of this large restaurant despite having booked over a week ago. Noisy and busy with waiters constantly rushing past the table. Our waiter appeared to have received no training. Stood at one corner... More
